[Episode 8]
And I was wondering why I never saw this host before, so it was because she used underhand trick to get into the position.
[ Classic schemer girl. Really got some tricks.]
Give me back my Yuzhe! Perfect man-god getting taken away by such a woman, where are the laws of the heaven?!
[Father]
Hello, Dad.
Jiaming.
I already saw those silly posts on the web.
Don't mind what others say.
I will forever support you.
I believe in you.
Dad, don't worry.
I am made of metal.
Those poisonous arrows won't be able to hurt me.
I will just reflect them back.
Don't worry anymore.
Bye bye.
That Song Jiaming is just a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding.
Really? About that promise you personally gave me of getting him to return to your company,
when will that happen?
- Just give me some more time. - Fine.
I will then give you one more month.
If after a month, his restaurant still hasn't stopped operating,
that wedding we talked about will be completely canceled.
Don't think you can already bribe me with just one ice cream cone.
I am not fooled that easily.
The person who made that Weibo post was Lucy!
But the main cause of all of these was you!
If we didn't argue, you wouldn't have thought of looking for a new partner.
Nothing would have happened, if you hadn't thought of changing partners! Then Lucy wouldn't have had a photo of you forcibly pulling me!
Li Yuzhe, you caused me to be criticized by all those netizens today.
Right now, I can't even dare to go home and face my father. This is all because of you!
Sorry.
If sorry is useful, why do we still need cops?
If you really want to apologize, you should make it up to me, right?
Then in the future episodes... I won't make it hard for you anymore. Is that okay now?
Just that?
What about my reputation?
Hey, the person getting falsely accused today was not only you.
It includes me too.
We are not the same.
Today, even Boss thought that there was something going on between us.
I actually am not afraid of rumors and don't care about what those unimportant people think.
But my image in Boss' heart...
a good image that I worked hard to build has now completely crumbled.
Do you... really like Xiaohan that much?
He is the first person that got me into the company.
He personally taught me how to do a show.
No matter what problems I faced, he would appear by my side immediately.
He is so gentle and warm,
so smart, so magnanimous.
Not only is he a good superior, he is a good man.
That's why, I made an oath that I will do my work well so he would be impressed.
Xiaohan is good with anyone.
Who said so?!
Xiaohan, Xiaohan... are you close with our boss?
Oh, right. Boss said that you two are good friends that grew up together?
Hey, Li Yuzhe!
Let's make a deal, okay?
I got bashed this time all due to you.
Then as compensation,
help me court Boss, okay?
When I do business deals,
I never like inserting any individual feelings into it.
Who has feelings for you?
Could it be that you feel that the stakes are not high enough?
Then... how about this?
I'll help pair you up with Yilan.
Let us both benefit from this. Okay?
I don't need it.
I never needed anyone to interfere with my own love life problems.
Yes.
It's a deal then. You are not allowed to take it back.
Why are you blocking my path? Have you forgotten our deal yesterday?
Even if you are going to court someone, you don't need to be in a rush like this, right?
Teach me how to court him then.
Okay, it was you who asked me to say this. These get-ups of yours is more appropriate for wearing during a workout session.
That's right. This is the famous sports and leisure style of American and European celebrities.
What? Don't I look cool?
Change to this.
If you really want to have a love life, then wear something more lady-like.
Or else, you will only be suitable to be his Bro.
Okay. Let me explain to everyone then the design plan for 'Delicious Destiny'.
After changing from 'A Moment of Delicious Flavors' to 'Delicious Destiny', what we've added is the word 'destiny'.
That's why we were able to perfectly make use of the good looks of Head Chef Li.
Sister Jiaming, how come you're so tall?
I usually wear sports and leisure style clothes so it can be more convenient at work.
Actually, I have always liked to wear high heels.
Boss, can you get used to it?
You should have dressed like that, way sooner.
Then I'll always dress like this from now on.
Continue.
Okay...
We will limit our filming to just 1 to 2 days.
And then, we calculated and determined that we can insert 3 commercial breaks within the show.
And for these ads, we need our sponsors and our producers to have a good talk about it.
And now, let me talk about our market analysis.
Because there are a lot of culinary shows right now,
we've thought about it. We want to use this team and progress to the aspect of 'destiny'.
That's why our cuisine will be filmed using the style employed in the show, 'The Chinese at the Tip of the Tongue'. And then...
Treat him as air.
If you want to make a man stay, you must make him feel that you might leave him anytime.
...drawing on that outline, make like a 'let's fall in love' style of culinary show.
I believe that this will surely get the approval of a lot of people.
Also, our Head Chef Li is so handsome and we have so many females in our audience.
We've thought about it in terms of sponsors, we should think about getting more ads targeting women.
I believe...
- Jiaming! - Huh?
- What did I say during the meeting earlier? - Huh?
You said...
Okay already. You are very weird today.
Do you have any problems?
Nothing.
I heard you coughing when you were speaking earlier.
I'll bring you some pear soup tomorrow.
Okay. Okay.
There are still some problems with the show. Let's discuss it again later tonight.
Yes.
Head Chef Li!
Your method is really effective.
Today, boss looked at me seven times.
Begging to be noticed by someone is a very pitiful act.
People like you who even count the number of times they get noticed is even more pitiful.
But isn't doing overtime a chance to be alone with boss?
Why must I give it up?
You like discussing powerpoints alone with him?
Think about it then. While gazing at each other's oily face, what kind of atmosphere would that be?
That's still way better than staying alone in my house!
This is... your schedule for tonight.
Watch a movie alone?
That is way more depressing than doing overtime alone.
The person who will be watching the movie with you is Xiaohan.
I already gave him the movie ticket. Just tell him later that I suddenly had something to do and didn't want to waste my ticket
so I gave it to you.
The two of us?
Yes.
Watch a movie?
Isn't that dating?!
Thank you.
Hey, how about you don't do overtime today too?
I'll also give you two movie tickets in return. You and Yilan can go on a date too.
Another pair becoming a couple would be great. How about it?
No need.
This is my compensation to you.
Don't overthink.
Just mind your own business.
Grab hold of this chance. I don't need anyone inquiring about my love life.
If you have the time to talk nonsense here, why don't you go beautify yourself instead? You need brains to court people.
I'm going now. Good luck.
Just leaving like that? What kind of person is he?
Can't even accept my flattery and help.
I won't bother to help you again.
Boss, have you already given out the movie tickets I got you?
Yes, I gave it to Song Jiaming and Xiaohan.
Zhao Han?
Song Jiaming's superior?
I got that for you to be used for dating.
That's right.
The two of them went out for a date.
Don't you like Sister Jiaming?
How come you instead gave your own meal to someone else?
First, I won't like a woman who likes another person.
Second, Xiaohan is my friend.
Jiaming is a good lady. I think that the two of them are quite suitable to be together too.
But toward you, I feel that Sister Jiaming...
In my opinion, what Song Jiaming has for me is just annoyance. I do have that level of self-knowledge.
Head Chef, your father is here. He is waiting for you in your office.
Okay.
I came to see how your restaurant is doing.
There seem to be not many customers.
Don't worry about restaurant matters anymore.
I can handle it by myself.
Can you earn money this way?
Since I opened this restaurant until today,
it seems that this is your first time to be here.
Just be frank with me.
You know what I want to say.
For these past years, you've gone into the restaurant business. Meanwhile, I treat it as you straying and just playing around.
But opening a restaurant is not a good long-term plan.
Now look, you've also starred in a TV show already.
It's should be... time to come back.
I think we have talked about this topic so many times and I've already told you that I have made my decision.
If you are here to eat, I'll entertain you as a honored guest.
If you want to convince me to stop doing this,
I can then only send you off.
It's fine for me if you want to continue operating a restaurant. But 50% of the shares in this restaurant
are mine.
If you want to continue keeping it operational, you must prove to me that there is a need for it to continue operating.
What do you mean?
That is, from today on, if you are able to reach a sales goal of
¥150,000 for this month, I won't interfere anymore with you operating your restaurant.
But if you are not able to,
just obediently return to work in the corporation with me.
The restaurant will then be immediately transferred to a new owner.
Fine.
It's a deal. Hope you can fulfill your words by then.
Alright.
Yuzhe, I know that you want me to relax for a bit.
But two men watching a movie is too--
Jia-Jiaming?
Head Chef Li said that he had to do something tonight.
But the tickets for this premiere are very hard to get, so he gave it to me.
When did he start being this nice to you?
No! No! He just felt that after getting me involved in those scandals,
he'd just make it up to me.
Do you feel that it's not good for us to watch the movie together?
No such thing. We've already did all-nighters together to finish proposals.
Watching a movie is just nothing.
Are you afraid that we'll get seen by familiar people?
What's to be afraid about?
I'll go buy some popcorn then.
Hey, how can a man let a woman spend money for him? I'll go buy them.
Oh, right, do you want the popcorn to be sweet or salty?
Oh, you want both.
Oh!
Do you also want hot chocolate?
Boss indeed treats me in a special manner.
Everyone, please try to decide if I am in the right or not.
It's exactly the Head Chef of this restaurant whose name is Li Yuzhe.
I only gave a suggestion regarding his dish.
- He then said that I don't have taste. - What's wrong?
Is there a problem?
Nothing.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Jiaming!
Do you have matters that you need to urgently address?
Nothing.
I know you very well.
If you have any urgent situation, then hurry and go.
If you still want to watch this movie next time,
I can accompany you again to watch it. Okay?
Sorry, boss. I'll get going then.
Go and investigate that malicious video and see who posted it.
Okay, Manager Ye.
Everyone, please try to decide if I am in the right or not.
It's exactly the Head Chef of this restaurant whose name is Li Yuzhe.
I only gave a suggestion regarding his dish.
- He then said that I don't have taste.
Hello, Director Zhou.
Jiaming, regarding that video on the web about Li Yuzhe's restaurant,
you probably have watched it already, right?
I was about to go see him about it.
You cannot go!
You can go anywhere right now
except to Li Yuzhe's restaurant.
Do you know that this video has spread like wildfire across the internet already?
They said that Li Yuzhe deceived the public to earn a good reputation.
An evil businessman that oppresses and fools his customers!
He isn't that kind of person.
Let me tell you. It's not important anymore now what kind of person he is.
What is important is how people on the internet talk about him. That is what's important.
You previously had a romantic rumor with him.
And now, his restaurant is in a midst of a scandal.
Let us temporary put his show on hold for a few days.
You are suspended for now. Go rest.
Director Zhou, we should always confirm rumors first.
If Head Chef Li is being framed, we cannot just turn a deaf ear, right?
It's not important if you are able to get the truth from him or not.
The most important thing now is to distance ourselves from him.
Or else it will ruin the reputation of the show.
I don't want to see you and Li Yuzhe in another photo again.
Did you hear me?
Why do you believe in me so much?
Because Boss believes in you.
That's why you are not really here to support me,
but doing it for Zhao Han?
Hello? Hello?
Song Jiaming! Did you hear me?
If you don't do what I tell you, then don't think about coming back to the company!
Director Zhou--
Director Zhou, don't worry.
I'll make Song Jiaming go back right now.
From now on, I won't see her on my own. At least like that, you can keep the reputation of your company.
Li Yuzhe!
Listen to your Director Zhou's words.
Anyway, doing the show is just an activity outside of work for me.
Right now, there is a problem at work.
My first priority is to take care of my own problems.
There's no need for you to get involved just because of me.
It's really late right now. If there's something wrong, we can take care of it tomorrow.
Head Chef Li, I just want to ask if your restaurant is doing fine.
The restaurant's situation is fine. Thank you for your consideration.
If there is nothing important please do not call me again.
Thank you.
There were a lot of employees that have resigned. Boss is also now helping by doing some chores.
I know that he is under a lot of pressure but he won't talk to anyone
and won't ask help from you. He just silently keeping it to himself.
That's why, I secretly printed some flyers hoping to help the restaurant get some business.
He is a person with thin facial skin (shy), a sharp tongue,
and likes to endure it until the end.
Oh, right, he recently agreed to a bet.
He must increase the restaurant sales by half for the restaurant to continue operating
or else we have to close down.
There is even such a thing?
Originally getting to the goal was no problem.
But when that malicious video came out, the restaurant suddenly lost all its customers.
Sister Jiaming, I know that you are kind. Please help him.
I have an idea. Come with me.
Come!
Manager Ye, we've already found the person who posted the video.
[ Investigation Report on Wang Jun ]
As long as we find the person who first posted the video,
maybe we can find a solution to this.
Can that work? The video has already been shared so many times.
It won't be easy to find.
If I one doesn't have any special skills, how could I work in media?
Do you know that the internal stories of a lot of gossips
are investigated through these traces.
Look.
This is the main page of the person who posted the video.
He has never posted any other videos and his level is quite low.
It's really obvious that in order to post this video,
he created this account.
But he liked several videos.
One video is about a speech of an official.
From what we see here,
he most likely is an owner of a real estate company.
Let me check the ranking of real estate companies.
I know this person!
He came to the restaurant before.
Because he kept putting on airs, he and Boss had an argument.
The webpage was initially shared through here.
He is the mastermind of all of this.
A'Cong,
you think we can find his contact number through the restaurant's reservation information?
I can go back and try.
Sister Jiaming, look.
Being impulsive is a demon. Talk to him in an amicable way.
"Mister, hello."
What do you think I am going to do to him?
Aren't you going to be some heroine who is going to draw her sword to help after seeing injustice?
Although this kind of person is very hateful, we cannot confront a tough with toughness.
Believe me. I have seen the whos and whats of food stalls.
Have dealt with all kinds of guests and hosts.
Dealing with a person like that is just a piece of cake.
Watch me.
- Jiaming! - What now?
Look it's Miss Ye.
Why is she here too?
I already said it very clearly on the phone.
Please remove the malicious video you posted against Li Yuzhe's restaurant.
I also already said it very clearly on the phone. As a customer,
expressing any form of comment regarding a restaurant
is my freedom.
I hope you can change your thinking.
You think I lack money?
This is a subpoena. I've already contacted a lawyer.
If Mr. Wang insists on refusing to remove the video,
I will sue you for libel.
May I ask Miss Ye
- what is your relationship with this Li Yuzhe? - Looks like Ms. Ye is used to dealing with such kinds of things.
- She also really pays great attention to our boss. - Why
must you help him?
I am his friend.
I came here today on his behalf to reason with you.
Reason?
Okay.
Then let us talk about reasons then.
Last time I brought my customer to his restaurant to eat.
I went there because of his restaurant's fame.
But who knew in front of everyone,
he insulted my taste.
How can a chef insult his own customer like that?
A chef should give their customer,
the treatment of a king.
Although I don't know you,
but after today,
I also can more or less guess what happened that day.
You added sugar and milk to Blue Mountain coffee.
Are you not afraid of destroying the inherent aroma and slightly sour taste of the coffee beans?
It's only a cup of coffee.
Looks like a food stall heroine like me
should only handle conflicts regarding weird cuisines.
Let us just leave matters like this to Miss Ye.
You must have also shown this same attitude there.
A high-class chef,
saw how his blood and sweat got trampled on by a customer like that,
so it is just right that he should be mad.
Stop lecturing me here.
Remove the video. Or else, do you believe that I can also hire trolls
to post this local rich tyrant face of yours online?
I surely will get the pride (respect) that I lost back.
Are you okay?
Hurry up and stop him before he does any more harm.
[ Lishi Corporation: Li Jianguo ]
Please wait! Please wait! Wait!
What are you doing?
Sorry.
I came to look for you because of Li Yuzhe.
This Li Yuzhe really has so many women.
Another girl?
Not going.
President Wang,
look, you have such a successful business and you're very experienced.
Of course, you have very high expectations.
I think that Li Yuzhe's restaurant only doesn't suit your taste.
I understand his personality.
He's a bit cold and says some mean things.
I am apologizing here on his behalf.
Okay, I can let it pass
as long as I am able to find my pride back.
Get in the car.
Where are we going?
Are you afraid that I will even take advantage of you? Didn't you say that we are going to talk?
Laowai Street Bar.
Okay.
Sister Jiaming, don't go anymore.
That President Wang clearly is bearing evil intentions.
If anything bad happens to you, how am I going to explain that to Boss?
Will a distinguished food stall heroine be afraid of a local rich tyrant?
The security at Laowai Street is quite good. Don't worry.
Oh yeah, don't tell Li Yuzhe.
- I'll resolve this matter for him. - Okay.
President Wang, look.
In what way can we let you get the respect that you lost back and remove the video?
That depends on
how much respect you are going to give me.
Okay. I'll drink it.
Good! You really are giving me respect!
I admire your alcohol tolerance and courage.
Can you remove the video now?
This much beer,
is so not enough compared to how much of my pride got damaged by Li Yuzhe that day.
Just randomly choose among these alcohols and drink them.
As long as you are able to make me happy, able to feel that you really are giving me much, much respect,
I will let him go.
Okay. I will drink.
That's enough.
What a good 'knight saving a damsel in distress'.
He said as long as I drink these, he will take down the video.
I don't need you to interfere with my business.
Abandoning self to save someone else, so touching.
Li Yuzhe.
You keep letting women do things for you. What's wrong with you?
Today, it should only be you and me.
Men should be the ones to resolve matters of men.
If you win,
I will promise you everything you ask.
Let us use her as the stake.
If you lose one ball, she will have one drink, until the competition ends.
- No-- - Okay.
It's a deal then. A real man
must be true to his words. If Li Yuzhe wins,
you must resolve this matter today. You are not allowed to take what you said back.
Very well.
That's not right. I should make her drink more.
Looking at how decent and proper you are,
your skills are not really that good.
It was you who set the game. I am just following the rules.
Just admit defeat.
This is a competition with unequal strengths to begin with.
How about this, I'll give you some respect. If you defeat me today,
I will remove the video and publicly apologize to you.
And also apologize to you.
Then it means that you admit that it was indeed you who hired those internet trolls
to make such a malicious video to destroy the reputation of my restaurant.
Actually, I also didn't want to cruelly push you this much.
But your restaurant didn't only offend me.
I am venting this anger on behalf of my friend.
Fine. It's a deal then.
If I win, you apologize.
What deal?!
You are already losing like this. Stop pretending to be fat because your face is already swollen?
President Wang, the game you set has already ended.
Is this result fine with you?
You should fulfill your promise already.
Did I say anything?
You still want to deny it?!
Actually, I also didn't want to cruelly push you this much.
But your restaurant didn't only offend me.
I am venting this anger on behalf of my friend.
Since I am this drunk...
if I am careless... if my hand just shakes a little...
then that conversation of yours will get sent already.
This libel crime of yours will get established then...
Hello, we have a problem. I must take down the video now.
No.
You must not take down this video no matter what.
What? Didn't you say that you will hire trolls to help me?
How come there are so many people now requesting me to let Li Yuzhe go?
Just persist for a little while more.
At least for a month.
No. Li Yuzhe has already gotten evidence against me.
What if this affects the reputation of my company?
My gains will not pay for my losses.
President Wang, just keep the video up first. I'll help you think of an idea.
No need to think anymore. The video must be removed.
I'm sorry.
We won against that guy.
I won.
You were only responsible for drinking beer.
If it wasn't for me...
If not for my convincing powers and sense of righteousness
hitting his weakness,
you'd still be bashed at until now and it would get worse and worse.
Just don't know...
Who did I offend this time,
to make them secretly go against me?
Why do I feel like
I was set up by you to drink all that alcohol today?
Yilan, please don't tell Yuzhe about this.
Why?
I don't want him to know about it.
But why did you do this?
Yuzhe is your son.
How could you connive with other people to set-up his restaurant?
I had no other choice. If it wasn't for your grandmother...
My grandmother?
Until Yuzhe gives up his restaurant, that's the only way she'll agree to the two of you marrying.
I am doing this all for your sake.
Even if Li Yuzhe doesn't understand, you should understand.
Look's like you don't understand Yuzhe at all.
If you keep pressuring him, you will just make him dislike it more.
As for me, I don't care whether he is a chef
or the company's heir.
As long as it is him, I will love him.
Even though you can, your grandmother won't agree.
Grandma is just looking down on the chef profession.
Please believe in me.
I surely will turn the situation of Yuzhe's restaurant around within a month
and change Grandmother's thinking.
What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?
♫ Adorable smurfs ♫
♫ They activate their brains and work in unity ♫
♫ Defeating Gargamel ♫
♫ They sing and dance, so happy ♫
You are already drunk yet you are still so misbehaved.
I'm happy!
Today, the food stall heroine
killed the local rich tyrant
and enforced justice for the world. Really so satisfying!
Next time, if you meet such a thing, don't take risks on your own.
I don't need people to defend me.
All the more, I don't want a woman getting into danger because of me.
That's why no going to do stupid things again. Do you remember everything that I said?
Li Yuzhe.
You really do care about me.
You are thinking too much.
I just don't like women who are too nosy.
Nothing about caring or not.
Who says?
You are my friend.
You helped me court Boss before.
Right now, I am sticking up for you.
The two of us have repaid each other already.
No one owes anyone anything anymore.
You are drunk.
It's because of you I am drunk.
Are you human at all?!
I am inhumane?
I want to ask you if you have a brain.
Song Jiaming,
it has already been this long, but you still can't see what my intentions are?
What do you mean?
Jiaming,
I need you to honestly answer a question.
That night you could have gone with Xiaohan
to watch a movie, but you went back to the restaurant to look for me.
You doing that...
Is it because,
in your heart,
I am more important than Xiaohan?
For that kind of question,
is it important?
I have to know.
I don't like people avoiding questions.
I have to throw up!
What was your question again?
I--
Where are you going?
Robot!
I am giving you something delicious so why won't you eat it?
Oh, I know now.
You are full.
Come, you drank too much. I'll take you home.
If you are full, then vomit it out.
Vomit out the money.
His restaurant has been pitifully losing money already!
How could you just sit, watch, and not do anything?
Forget it.
I don't have a lot of money.
But don't complain that it is too little.
I know...
you are going to say that I am being a dog that catches mice again. (meddlesome)
But if I don't catch this mouse,
I won't feel comfortable.
In the past, when I had a problem,
you would always help me.
Although you keep frowning,
I don't want to owe you anything.
Being able to pay you back a little is also a little.
Take it! What time is it already?
Always dead determined to save one's face, so you will just suffer.
I saved that for one and a half years.
Don't complain that it is little.
The password is 650508.
It's my mom's birthday.
And!
To answer your question before.
In my heart,
of course, you are more important.
